Photograph of a gilded arched shrine in a stone temple hall, holding a seated pair of metal deity murtis dressed in purple and green silk with garlands of yellow and red flowers. The seated figure on the left holds a trident and a damaru-like instrument and wears a leopard-print cloth and beaded necklace, while the figure on the right wears a green and red sari with heavy jewellery. Between them stands a golden lingam with a decorated shell-shaped backdrop and a red and orange cloth. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a small green-robed statue sits in front with a marigold garland, beside a silver-framed image of a female deity in blue. Offerings and brass pots sit on a low table in the foreground.
